Dear Parents,
Tonight you should have received a
Student Diagnostic Report from today’s STAR Enterprise Test in your child’s
academic binder. On that report you will notice important information regarding
your child’s reading range, statistical information about where they fall on
the national spectrum, and the grade level they are currently reading on. You
might also notice a color coded information bar. This bar helps us determine
the direction of the instruction we will give your child. If you notice that
they fall in the red, yellow, or blue part of that spectrum, this means that we will begin
pulling them in small invitational groups during morning intervention next
week. These invitational groups will be conducted each morning and are geared
toward meeting your child’s unique and specific reading needs.
Also, please
remember that this a Student Diagnostic Report is from our very first STAR
Enterprise Test of the year and gives us baseline data by which we can
measure their reading progress this year. No matter where your child starts, we
believe there is room for growth and improvement this year, and that is our
desire for each of your precious children! We also believe that as we encourage
students to read daily and to read a wide range of appropriate books, growth
will occur. We can also confidently say that our students are already on the right path to growing as readers, because they have been reading up a storm! So, please continue to help us to encourage
the children to READ, READ, READ!
Thanks for all you do,
Mrs. Horn and Miss Woods
